Chapter 144 Invitation

After meeting Arnold, Cora walked alone on the street. There were very few pedestrians. Everyone had probably gone home to reunite with their families. Perhaps due to the lack of people on the street or some other reason, Cora felt extremely lonely. At that moment, the phone in her coat pocket vibrated again. She hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone to check. There were several missed calls from Byron. Remembering his indifferent expression, Cora didn’t want to see him right away. Thus, she skipped his missed calls and checked the message from Tyler instead. [Cora, are you coming over?] Only then did Cora recall that she had promised Tyler to go to the Cooper Villa for a Christmas Eve dinner. However, ever since Tyler found out about her affair with Byron during a drunken incident, he has been avoiding her. She thought he must have looked down on her behavior and ended their friendship unilaterally. Yet she figured that was for the best. She thought lowly of herself as well, so she understood his cold treatment of her. It was unexpected that Tyler would send her a message on Christmas Eve. Before she replied to his text, he called her. “Cora, where are you? I’ll give you a ride. It’s difficult to find a taxi on Christmas Eve.” Tyler sounded as enthusiastic as ever while talking to her over the phone. At that moment, Cora felt she was on the verge of tears.
